Discussion Do you think you are a bad person?

[FTL.Wanderer]

I think I'm a kind person. But I think I'm very poorly adapted to life in general and human social life in particular. So I think I'm a failed person--something that really shouldn't have been.

 

[FTL.Wanderer]

Treat others how you want to be treated I say . If someone hurts me, I ensure they get it back tenfold although sometimes I don't know when to stop so have taken it too far, but no regrets.

Wish I'd had friends like you in my life long ago...

 

[divinized]

Depends. I don't seem like a bad person on the outside but if somehow all of our thoughts could be read by other people I'd definitely seem like a terrible person.

 

[itsallover]

No I was just naive and stupid like many others.

 

[iiii5555]

That's a funny question.

I'm the Devil in plain sight, but nobody seens to do anything about it.

 

[AhG]

Yes, I can honestly say that I am.

 

[Ch92921]

Good or bad are subjective words.

 

[stubblejumper]

yes

 

[Beyondajoke]

Ultimately yes, I seem to be a bringer of destruction and it's better for me to remove myself.

 

[Pallf]

Yeah I'm a bad person. I'm pretty stupid too. Isolation seems to be helping though. I can't upset people if i never socialize.

 

[CozyTime]

Would say that I am an asshole towards people I don't know but a good person towards those that I consider my friends.

Most of the time I'm just indifferent which usually is enough for people to call me an asshole.

 

[Kyrok]

I lose my temper periodically and say or do things that compromise me professionally. Personally, I'm usually very respectful and put others needs above my own. What is most painful to me is the repertoire of mistakes I've made in life and thoughts of what could have been.

So, am I a bad person? Maybe not morally, but I'm a fucking idiot sometimes.

 

[Taylored]

I don't consider myself a bad person I do what I have to do to survive.

 

[ForestLove]

We are all born good but certain circumstances in Life brought the worst in people unintentionally.

 

[throwaway777]

i am but too weak to change ..i hate myself for that

 

[Random]

Yes I think so

 

[Weeping Garbage Can]

Although I don't have malicious intentions, i would say I'm a narcissistic imposter.

 

[meaningisgone]

Thanks for sharing about your self-perception, everyone. For the record, I perceive you all as an intelligent, articulate, and brave unit of humanity that I enjoy spending time with online.

 

[Angst Filled Fuck Up]

Yeah, I pretty much know I am. I am selfish, prone to fits of rage, unable to deal with life, and seemingly incapable of looking after myself properly and making the right decisions.

 

[Going Home]

No. Someone slanders me continuously to demonize me, make others afraid for their entertainment. They withold info telling people I have no memory, which is bullshit. To others I appear to be a bad and stupid person.

Whereas I don't think I'm a bad person right now - I'm usually polite, I help elderly people, I don't harm anyone - I'm sure that under specific circumstances I would turn absolutely evil. Right now, Im maybe somewhat indifferent, but not particularly mean. Give me some power and I would probably get my way through bullying and abuse.
I hate this knowledge, but this is probably the truth. I can act civilised, but Im not sure Im actually good at heart.

 

[meaningisgone]

I find you all fascinating, intelligent, and altogether likeable, at least in internet conversation form.

Here's a question. Do you accept yourself as someone that would bully and abuse to get your way, or would you change that feature of your personality if you could?

I would struggle not to do that. But even *wanting* to abuse power makes me evil, 'cause I guess that really good people don't even think about it.
I'd rather not be some abusive trash.

 

[Broken]

No. I'm a product of my environment. I'm not a bad person. My father is and I've learnt everything from him. From him l learned to bully, abuse, manipulate, lie, decieve. Didn't realise I was like him until it was to late. People could see there was something not right about me. And they left. All the people that mattered left because they could see evil in me. I don't hate myself. I hate my father and I don't think I'll ever forgive him. I had happiness in my life and I couldn't sustain it because he's messed me up. If I ever achieve happiness again I'm not letting it anywhere near my father

 

[Going Home]

I am so thankful for this forum.
I am not a bad person. Even under these circumstances, being slandered and humiliated, tortured daily I havent turned into a bad person. People are told to be afraid of me and they act accordingly.
My being treated so poorly wouldn't make me mistreat others. Those who mistreat me should be punished but that doesnt make me a bad person. A part of me still believes in the creator, why this is allowed to happen I dont know, but God knows my heart and my intentions. It still bothers me that I am being slandered making me look like a monster to people.

 

[meaningisgone]

I would wager that every human is capable of pondering selfish, overtly manipulative and unfair actions. Maybe some think about those choices at fewer crossroads than others, but that's basically a complicated mess of how they were programmed, socialized, maybe random genetic factors, their habits and neural pathways and factors I have no idea about. Some people probably lean towards what we consider good actions more than others. But I have an inkling that maybe the true measure of a "good" person is to make the right choice when faced with the opportunity and compelling motive to do wrong.

 

[expiredhuman]

I'm a pretty shitty human. People see me as a very caring and patient person but I'm just making up for all the times where I've done or thought terrible things.

I have been that person. I didn't realise I was that person until it was to late and I couldn't rectify my mistakes. now I've seen my flaws I will never let them get the better of me again. And I just have to hope that I get another shot at love and commitment because otherwise it's going to feel like I finally became the person I should have been but it was all to late!

 

[ShadowOfTheDay]

Just curious cuz i think im an absolutely terrible person

Yeah, I can certainly relate. Lately I really just despise myself.
